    1. Thats all the world needs another social media

    2. Threads data policy is great - so yeah give zukerberg more data

    "Threads potentially collects a wide assortment of personal data that remains connected to you, based on the information available in Apple’s App Store, from your purchase history and physical address to your browsing history and health information. “Sensitive information” is also listed as a type of data collected by the Threads app. Some information this could include is your race, sexual orientation, pregnancy status, and religion as well as your biometric data"

    3. I will stick to the threads on CUK

    I tend to find people that are interesting either from retweets of people I follow, replies to tweets or comments made by people I follow. Perhaps that's why I havent noticed the decline in the platform.

    I only read twitter so I don't use it for posting content but I've not noticed the UI become worse. I've read this a few times but what have you found worse?

    The data capture of Threads is concerning but as I already have a FB (and Insta, also largely unused) account the reality is they probably have it all already. They're certainly chosen a good time to launch due to the recent Twitter fiascos.

    Resolver is trying to help, although I've never managed to successfully lodge an issue with them.

    All I want to do is just bitch at companies and raise awareness of their shoddy customer service.

    Ideally you want to do something like this - https://www.resolver.co.uk/ and get organisations like MSE to promote it so your name is everywhere.
    Once it takes off I would just sell the complainer information. Or even have a review site for companies based on complaints.

    Interesting, thanks for the link, never seen resolver.co.uk before.
